747861 ÷ 31 
Our goal is to divide 747861 by 31.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 31

Step 2:
31 goes into 74 2 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 62 from 74, we get 12.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 127 / 31

On to step 3:
127 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 124 from 127 to get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 31

On to step 4:
The number 31 fits into 38 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 241.0
Subtracting 31 from 38 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 31

On to step 5:
When dividing 76 by 31, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2412.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 62 from 76.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 141 / 31

On to step 6:
141 divided by 31 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24124.0
Subtracting 124 from 141 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
31 goes into 170 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24124.5
Deduct 155 from 170 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
31 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24124.54
Subtract 124 from 150 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 260 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24124.548
Deduct 248 from 260 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 31 fits into 120 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24124.5483
Subtracting 93 from 120 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 11:
31 can be fit into 270 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24124.54838
Subtracting 248 from 270 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
220 divided by 31 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24124.548387
If we subtract 217 from 220, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 30 by 31, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24124.548387
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
31 can be fit into 300 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24124.54838709
If we take 279 away from 300, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 24124.54838709, and the remainder is 2.1e-08.
